I wondered if my symptoms are IBS normal? I have had stomach problems since age 15. thought it was an ulcer. Had 3 years of gastric reflux that a herbalist managed to get rid of.Now I am left with IBS, it rules my life though. I have permanent diarrahea, am taking amitriptyline for it. Have bloating, nausea 95% of the time, thats the worst. Then i get these horrendous stomach pains, go blue cause i can't breathe it's that bad and end up dosed to the eyes on Co-codamol for a week at a time and eat nothing until it passes.I have tried aloe vera, peppermint,herbal stuff, loperamide makes me dizzy, anti-spasmodics don't work anymore. I am at my wits end help please.
